How to Make Disney Treats
Ingredients:
- 1 big scoop of vanilla ice cream
- 4 ounces of pineapple juice
- 2 cups of frozen pineapple chunks
- 14 whole graham cracker sheets
- 2 cups of creamy peanut butter
- 8 tablespoons of butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 3 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons of shortening
- 4 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup of water
- 8 tablespoons of butter
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups of vegetable or canola oil
- 1/2 cup of sugar

For Disneyland Peanut Butter Squares, layer graham crackers in a pan. Mix peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, salt, and powdered sugar until well combined. Spread over the cracker base. Melt chocolate chips with shortening and pour over the mixture. Refrigerate until set, then cut into squares.
-
To prepare Disney Churros, combine water, butter, and salt in a saucepan. Once boiling, add flour, stirring until a dough forms. Remove from heat, then beat in eggs one at a time until fully incorporated. Heat oil in a pan, pipe dough into the oil, and fry until golden. Roll in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon before serving.
How to Serve Disney Treats
Serve these treats on a colorful platter for a fun presentation. Dole Whip is perfect in a cone or cup, while peanut butter squares can be arranged in neat rows. Churros are best enjoyed warm, sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon, and served with a side of chocolate sauce for dipping.
How to Store Disney Treats
Dole Whip is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the freezer if needed. Place the peanut butter squares in an airtight container in the fridge for several days. Churros should be kept in a paper towel-lined container to retain some crispness, and they are best eaten within a day or two.
Tips to Make Disney Treats
- For the Dole Whip, use a high-powered blender to get a smooth consistency.
- If you want a thicker peanut butter layer, add more powdered sugar to your mixture.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the churros; if it’s too cool, they will soak up oil and become greasy.
Variation
You can add different flavors to the Dole Whip by mixing in some coconut cream or using different fruit juices. For peanut butter squares, try using chocolate peanut butter or adding chopped nuts for extra texture. For churros, you can drizzle caramel sauce on top instead of chocolate.
FAQs
